I travel, when I can. Write, when inspired. Photograph, where there's beauty. Make films, for a living. Oh, and I play a decent didjiridu.

Soothing ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #342

I find few moments more soothing
Than a cool, grey day
Whose listless breezes stir a gentle rain
Droplets patter pane and sill

And I, warm and dry
With a steaming mug
Turn the pages of a book
Offering scant attention to its contents

Beyond the Convergence

All lines of inquiry converge
On a distant portal of glass
Beyond which a tunnel continues
Deeper than I can see
Offering a promise of The Infinite

Burst of Colour, H Anima by Marc Sequin, Montreal, Quebec, Canada

A Burst of Colour

A burst of colour
Breathes life
Into a space
Of regimental order

Beauty Creates Consequence

The beauty I imbue
On moments and places
Of small consequence
Arises from my appreciation
For the beauty in all things

A Crack in the Sky Let the Light In, State Highway 23, Johnsons Corner, North Dakota, USA

Cracks ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #341

There was a small crack
Which let the light in
Amber and warm
To dispel the gloomy darkness
But left the shadows
So I could see both
Where I was going
And where I’d come from

A Brief Stop in Paradise

I drive past the sign with a chuckle. Then realize I need to turn back for this photograph.

It occurred to me some time ago that paradise is not a place on a map, but a state of being. For me, it seems obvious, that state of being involves movement… though, often, a metaphorical interpretation works just fine.
